3. Configure the SNMP v3 User Definitions field (if SNMP v3 is used) to add and configure SNMP
v3 user definitions.
SNMP v3 user definitions allow read-only or read/write access to management information as
appropriate.
4. Specify the users who can read and optionally modify the SNMP-capable client.
5. If configuring SNMP v3 user definitions, set the SNMP v3 engine ID.
OID Use the OID (Object Identifier) pull-down list to specify a setting of All or a enter a
Custom OID. Select All to assign the user access to all OIDs in the MIB. The OID
field uses numbers expressed in dot notation.
Access Use the Access pull-down list to specify read-only (R) access or read/write (RW)
access for the community. Read-only access allows a remote device to retrieve
access point information, while read/write access allows a remote device to
modify access point settings.
Add Click Add to create a new entry for an SNMP v3 user.
Delete Select Delete to remove an entry for an SNMP v3 user.
Username Specify a username by typing an alphanumeric string of up to 31 characters.
Security Level Use the Security Level area to specify a security level of noAuth (no authorization),
AuthNoPriv (authorization without privacy), or AuthPriv (authorization with
privacy).
The NoAuth setting specifies no login authorization or encryption for the user.
The AuthNoPriv setting requires login authorization, but no encryption.
The AuthPriv setting requires login authorization and uses the Data Encryption
Standard (DES) protocol.
OID Use the OID (Object Identifier) area to specify a setting of All or enter a Custom
OID. Select All to assign the user access to all OIDs in the MIB. The OID field uses
numbers expressed in dot notation.
Passwords Select Passwords to display the Password Settings screen for specifying
authentication and password settings for an SNMP v3 user. The maximum
password length is 11 characters. Use the Authentication Algorithm drop-down
menu to specify MD5 or SHA1 as the authentication algorithm. Use the Privacy
Algorithm drop-down menu to define an algorithm of DES or AES-128bit.
When entering the same username on the SNMP Traps and SNMP Access
screens, the password entered on the SNMP Traps page overwrites the password
entered on the SNMP Access page. To avoid this problem, enter the same
password on both pages.
Access Use the Access pull-down list to specify read-only (R) access or read/write (RW)
access for a user. Read-only access permits a user to retrieve

information, while read/write access allows a user to modify
Mobility 5181 Access Point
settings.
SNMP Access Control Click the SNMP Access Control button to display the SNMP Access Control
screen for specifying which users can read SNMP-generated information
and potentially modify related settings from an SNMP-capable client.
The SNMP Access Control screen's Access Control List (ACL) uses Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses to restrict access to the AP’s SNMP interface. The
ACL applies to both SNMP v3 user definitions and SNMP v1/v2c community
definitions.
